P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 62g
The Chairman shall have discretion to assign working areas in the administrative phase of the agency to one or more members.
The Board shall sit in full or, at the discretion of the Chairman, divided into Parts, for which the Chairman may designate the alternate member to serve in one of them. Said Parts may function and adjudicate matters independently of each other. The Chairman may, also, when he deems it may result in the most efficient utilization of the resources of the Board, assign separate functions to each one of the Parts; Provided, however, That the Chairman may not assign to said Parts the functions enumerated in § 62j of this title, subsections (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (11), (12), (13), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (21), (23), (24), (26), (27) and (28).
This assignment of working areas may be altered or set aside by the Chairman when, in his opinion, any factor or factors of public interest or of operational efficiency so warrant.
The Chairman at his discretion, or upon request of any of the members composing a Part, may transfer any matter from a Part to the Board in full. The Chairman may, at his discretion, sit in one of the Parts in the consideration of any matter.
The Board shall adopt bylaws for its operation. Said bylaws shall also provide whatever may be necessary to insure the participation of the Executive Director of the Permit Management Office, with voice but not vote, in such meetings of the Board as the latter may determine.
